PREFACE, 



In presenting this edition of 1893 of " The Veterinarian's Call- 
Book," the compiler takes pleasure in acknowledging the kind re- 
ception and popular support accorded by the profession of Amer- 
ica to the maiden venture. Having proven itself to be so welcome 
an addition to the veterinary surgeon's business outfit, as well as a 
reliable reference work, it has been our aim for the edition of 1893 
to make it even more valuable than its predecessor ; and to this 
end, additional interesting matter and other improvements have 
been introduced, which it is hoped will endear it more to the prac- 
titioner and student. 

On account of the difficulty in securing the co-operation of 
many of the secretaries of veterinary associations, it has been 
found impossible to present a perfect and complete roster of the 
various societies and other matters, and, rather than present this 
class of material in an imperfect shape, it has been deemed best 
to expunge it entirely, and to replace it by statistical and other 
subjects of reference. 

Many veterinarians of large practice have found the '' Call- 
Book " too small in its account department, and to meet this re- 
quirement a special edition will be issued, containing twice the 
number of pages that existed in the first edition. 

It is believed that the issue of 1893 will be found more nearly 
approaching the ideal "Call-Book" than its predecessor, and it 
will be our aim to always keep it in touch with veterinary 
progress.

TABLE OF SIGNS. 



The following table will be found a convenient and compre- 
hensive method of keeping the call account in the diary. Each 
patient has a line, and each day its column. The marks on the 
margin below are intended to be made in the column under the 
proper date, and immediately on a line with the patient's name — 
thus preventing the possibility of overlooking an engagement 
made days ahead. For instance, for a visit to be made a diagonal 
line is drawn ; when the visit has been made it is crossed ; for a 
second visit made a second cross is made ; if more than one patient 
is seen a figure indicating the number is placed in the upper arra.s 
of the cross, and so on.

POISONS. 

BRIEF SYMPTOMS AM) ANTIDOTES. 



In all cases, where practicable, the stomach-pump should be 
early employed, and if the poison has been swallowed by an ani- 
mal capable of vomition, the majority of cases are relieved by 
quick emesis. 

Acids, Mineral. — Symptoms — They produce the effects of an 
irritant corrosive poison, destroying by their escharotic action all 
tissues with which they come in contact. A ntidotes — Alkalies, 
magnesia, soda, lime, soap, to neutralize acid ; eggs, milk, oils, etc, 
to protect tissues ; nutrients and stimulants to overcome depres- 
sion immediately following their ingestion. 

Aconite. — Symptoms — Trembling, slight convulsions, loss of 
power of support, frothing from mouth, free perspiration, much 
nausea, efforts resembling vomiting, breathing slower, pulse weak 
and usually less frequent ; death from respiratory and cardiac ar- 
rest. Antidotes — Emetics where practicable, warmth to extremi- 
ties, stimulants to respiration and circulation, internally and 
externally, and the assumption of the recumbent position. 

Anti.monium Tartras. — Syittptovis — Vomiting and purging ; 
great prostration of vital powers ; epigastric pain, cyanosis, deliri- 
um, motor and sensory paralysis, suppression of urine, and col- 
lapse^much like Asiatic cholera. Horses and cattle are only 
slightly susceptible to its action. Antidotes — Tannic acid in some 
form to operate chemically, opium as an antagonist, and demulcent 
drinks to protect mucous membrane. 

Arsenic. — Symptovts — Acute poisoning : The phenomena are 
either gastro-intestinal or cerebral. In the former, the most usual 
form, there is pain in the stomach, vomiting, thirst, bloody stools, 
strangury, suppressed or bloody urine, rapid and feeble heart, 
anxiety, cold breath, albuminuria and collapse. In the nervous 
form, there is profound coma, not unlike opium narcosis. Chronic 
poisoning : CEdema, itching of the eyelids, increased saliva, nau- 
sea, vomiting of mucous, diarrhoea and dysentery, pain in stom- 
ach, irritable and feeble heart, dyspnoea, disordered sensibility, 
herpes zoster, urticaria, eczema and other skin eruptions, jaundice 
and albuminuria. Antidotes — Evacuation of the stomach. Ad- 
minister hydrated oxide of iron, freshly precipitated, in quantity 
eight parts for every particle of poison swallowed. Then oil, milk 
or mucilaginous drinks to protect mucous membrane, and diluents ; 
iodide of potassium to promote elimination. 



21 

Argenti NiTRAT. —Sj';n/ioms— Violent gastro-enteritis and 
ulcer of stomach from thrombosis of veins. Antidotes — Sodium 
cliloride, freely precipitating the insoluble chloride of silver, also 
acting as an emetic. 

Belladonna. — Symptoms — Motor paralysis, marked accelera- 
tion of pulse, dilated pupils, delirium, stupor, and death from 
asphyxia or asthenia. Antidotes — Stimulants and coffee ; subcu- 
taneous injection of caffeine ; keep animal moving ; artificial res- 
piration ; physostigma given cautiously. 

Canthakides. — Symptoms — The phenomena of gastro-enteritis; 
the respiratory and gastro-urinary mucous membranes specially 
irritated ; the kidneys are inflamed, manifested by bloody urine, 
strangury, stiffness across loins. Cerebral effects are muscular 
trembling, partial or general convulsions, coma and insensibility. 
A ntidotes — Emetics ; free use of mucilaginous drinks, with opiates. 
Oils and fats are inadmissible on account of favoring solution of 
the unabsorbed poison. When constitutional irritation results 
from absorption of cantharidin from blistered surface, the parts 
should be dressed with soothing remedies. 

Carbolic Acid. — Symptoms — When taken by mouth, from its 
power to coagulate albumen of the tissues, the tongue, fauces and 
throat appear as though brushed over by nitrate of silver, becom- 
ing hard and dry like leather. Sudden vertigo, contracted pupils, 
embarrassed respiration and feeble circulation, convulsions, un- 
consciousness supervening, breathing stertorous, surface of body 
grows cold, heart more and more feeble, and death from respira- 
tory arrest. Dogs very susceptible, even to weak solutions upon 
the skin, often causing excitement, blowing, unsteady gait, and 
occasionally fatal collapse. A ntidotes — Emetics ; pharyngeal and 
gastric irritation allayed by opiumized steam ; demulcent drinks, 
and saccharated lime. Neutralize the poison by conversion into 
phenol-sulphuric acid, by sulphates of sodium and magnesium. 

Chloroform. — Sy7nptoms — Death may occur early in the In- 
halation from sudden paralysis of cerebral haemispheres ; in the 
stage of rigidity from tetanic fixation of respiratory muscles ; in 
the stage of complete relaxation, by paralysis of respiration, or 
paralysis of tongue, causing obstructed respiration ; in the same 
state by paralysis of the cardiac ganglia ; also from depression of 
functions, or shock, in the anaesthetic stage or afterward. A nti- 
dotes — Drawing tongue out of mouth ; artificial respiration ; 
warmth to body and limbs ; intravenous injections of ammonia ; 
alcoholic stimulants hypodermicaily and by the mouth ; faradiza- 
tion of muscles of chest ; turning patient face downwards. 

Chlor \l Hydrate. — Symptovis — Profound narcotism ; abol- 
ishment of reflexes and sensibility ; complete muscular relaxation, 
With great fall of temperature. Death may result by arrest of 



22 



cardiac or respiratory motor ganglia, or by heart failure from de 
generative disease. Antidotes — Atropine antagonizes its cardiac, 
respiratory and spinal depression, but should be given in small, 
repeated doses ; morphine to prevent its paralyzant heart effects. 

Sulphuric Ether. — Syviptoms — Complete loss of sensibility, 
paralysis of respiration taking place slowly, the heart pulsating 
long after breathing has ceased. Antidotes — Fresh air, artificial 
respiration, intravenous injections of ammonia. 

CoLCHicuM. — Symptoms — Gastro-intestinal irritation, griping, 
choleraic discharges, lowered arterial tension and heart depression, 
followed by great prostration, collapse, and death from exhaus- 
tion, with consciousness retained until carbonic acid narcosis sets 
in. Antidotes — Emetics and cathartics, followed by demulcent 
drinks. If coma, brandy, ammonia, etc. ; subcutaneous injections 
of morphine ; keep up external heat. 

Corrosive Sublim.\te. — Symptoms — Swallowed in strong solu- 
tion it is an irritant poison, producing gastro-enteritis and collapse. 
Smaller or more diluted doses produce mercurialism. A ntidotes — 
Emetics : free use of albumen to form insoluble mercuric albumin- 
ate (one egg to every four grains of the poison). In the absence 
of eggs, wheat or barley flour, milk or other albumenoids, followed 
by astringent drinks. 

Croton Oil. — Symptoms — Acute gastro-enteritis. Antidotes 
— Emetics ; wash out stomach, followed by mucilaginous fluids, 
containing opium. 

CuFRi SuLPH. — Symptoms — The emetic effects usually, though 
not invariably, destroy its toxic action in all animals except the 
horse. Large retained doses produce fatal gastro-enteritis. Re- 
peated full doses induce intestinal irritation, with paralysis, not 
unlike that of lead. Antidotes — White of egg, forming insoluble 
innocuous albuminates; iron filings attract and fi.x the copper; 
ferro-cyanide of potassium produces an insoluble and harmless salt. 

Digitalis. — Symptoms — Excessive doses, with gastric irritation 
and derangement, disorder, exhaust, and arrest heart action and 
dilate arterioles, producing fainting and fatal prostration. Anti- 
dotes — Keep the patient perfectly quiet, administer alcoholic stim- 
ulants, along with counter-irritation to the heart. 

Hydrocyanic Acid. — Syjnptoms — When given in fatal doses 
the symptoms set in with great rapidity. Occasionally the victim 
maybe able to perform a fe.v voluntary actions before alarming 
symptoms are developed ; there is first a brief stage of difficult 
breathing and slow action of the heart, with a tendency for the 
organ to stop in the stage of dilatation. With widely-dilated pu- 
pils, the patient is then seized w'ith violent irregular convulsive 
movements, respiratory rhythm is disturbed, and the countenance 
becomes of a bluish cast. The patient now sinks to the ground

de- ■ 



28 

with complete loss of muscular action, slow gasping respirations, 
loss of pulse and paralysis of motion. Death is frequently pre- 
ceded by muscular spasms. Antidotes — Inhalation ot fumes of 
strong ammonia^ drinks of warm and cold water alternately, fric- 
tion of the limbs, and artificial respiration. The subcutaneous 
injection of atropine is given here as a cardiac stimulant. 

Iodine. — Symptoms — Large doses produce the symptoms of an 
irritant poison ; persisted with for a long period, it induces a de- 
bilitated, depraved state, termed iodism, characterized by loss of 
appetite, an irritable, catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane 
of the nostrils, eyes, throat and digestive organs, a vesicular skin 
eruption, abstinence from water, languor, inaptitude for exertion, 
and elevation of temperature. A ntidotes — Full doses of starch, 
to convert unabsorbed iodine into innocuous amylum iodide. 
Withhold all medicines containing iodine, and administer mineral 
tonics, bitters and nutritive diet. 

Lead. — Symptoms — Chronic poisonmg mostly seen ; impaired 
digestion, appetite capricious, sometimes lost, sometimes morbidly 
increased ; spasms and subsequently torpidity of the bowels — sim- 
ilating stomach staggers in horses and impaction of omasum in 
cattle. Later, along the margins of the gums appears a gray line 
of lead deposit, blackened by sulphur ; often there is colic and 
constipation ; extensor muscles are cramped and paralyzed earlier 
and more seriously than the flexors, and there is atrophy of the 
affected muscles. A ntidotes — In acute poisoning, an emetic or the 
stomach-pump is promptly used, followed by the appropriate anti- 
dotes. In chronic poisoning the lead, whether deposited in the 
tissues or lodged in the digestive canal, should be rendered insolu- 
ble by administration of sulphur, potassium iodide or magnesium 
sulphate. The two latter antidotes, each repeated thrice daily, 
are most to be relied on, and are followed up by occasional doses 
of oil, which removes the lead salts as they are excreted, into the 
bowels. 

Morphine. — See Opittm. 

Nux Vomica. — Symptoms — Trembling and twitching of volun- 
tary and involuntary muscles, and violent clonic spasms, usually 
lasting one or two minutes, gradually becoming more frequent and 
severe, and from involving the glottis, diaphragm and other mus- 
cles of respiration cause death usually by asphyxia. The symp- 
toms and mode of death resemble tetanus, but are more suddenly 
developed, more intermittent and more rapidly fatal. The spasms 
are more clonic and less tonic than in tetanus, and do not so 
early affect the muscles of the jaw. Antidotes — Empty stomach 
speedily ; if convulsions frequent, anaesthetize the patient, stom- 
ach washed out, and chloral hydrate given hypodermically ; curare, 
conium, tobacco, opium and calabar bean. 



24 

Opum. — Syjiiptoins -Cold, clammy sweat, very slow heart, 
abolished retiexes, coma, the pupil minutely contracted, but dilated 
as the end approaches, and death by suspension of respiration, due 
to the direct action of the poison on the respiratory centre in the 
medulla. Antidotes — Evacuate stomach; maintain respiration 
and keep up circulation ; atropine antagonizes the cerebral action, 
also its action on pupil, respiration, heart and arterial tension ; but 
if given too freely will substitute belladonna narcosis for opium 
narcosis. Coffee and caffeine, faradization of chest muscles, cold 
effusions and artificial respiration are of great value ; evacuation 
of bladder is also important. 

Oxalic Kcim.— Symptoms — When taken in the stomach in con- 
centrated solution it produces the symptoms of a corrosive poison, 
and also exerts a specific effect, killing the patient by cardiac syn- 
cope within a few minutes, having exhibited great weakness, small 
pulse and heart failure. Antidotes — A prompt emetic, followed 
by chalk, w'hiting, or any substance containing carbonate of cal- 
cium. The alkaline carbonates are valueless, for the alkaline oxa- 
lates are almost as poisonous as oxalic acid itself. 

Phosphorus. — Symptoins — It is a powerful gastro-intestinal 
irritant, causing vomiting and purging, with great depression; 
reaching the blood as phosphorus, it destroys the red blood cor- 
puscles, causing acute haemorrhage, from fatty degeneration of 
the arterial walls, rapid steatosis of the stomach, liver and heart, 
with deep jaundice ; then delirium, convulsions, coma and death, 
generally from gradual failure of respiration and circulation. 
A ntidotes — Sulphate of copper is the best emetic ; hydrated mag- 
nesia as a quick purgative ; lime water or charcoal to prevent its 
action on tissues. Commercial oil of turpentine is the antidote; 
but no fats or oils to be given, as they promote absorption of the 
poison. 

Potash and Soda Salts. — Symptoms — These produce symp- 
toms resembling those of the mineral acids, except that purging is 
a usual accompaniment. A ntidotes — Dilute acetic acid, citric 
acid, lemon juice, fixed oils, demulcents, vinegar. 

Stkamonilm. — Same as Belladonna. 

Strychnine. — Same as Nux I'omica. 

Zinc Salts. — Symptovis — The soluble salts (chloride, sulphate 
and acetate) are corrosive poisons, causing violent gastro-enteritis, 
and in some cases profound nervous symptoms. A ntidotes — Car- 
bonate of soda, emetics, warm demulcent drinks.

COMPOSITION OF F^CES. 

The following table, from "Smith's Physiology of the Domes- 
tic Animals," gives the percentage of salts found in the faeces of 
•different animals. The percentage will vary according to the na- 
ture of the food. It may, as a rule, be said that in the faeces of 
the dog about 20 per cent, of inorganic matter is present when on 
a pure meat diet, and 24 percent, on a mixed diet ; in that of the 
herbivora, 58 per cent, is inorganic, though the faeces of the suck- 
ing calf will contain only 2.6 per cent, of the inorganic matter con- 
tained in the food. According to Valentin, 100 grammes of faeqes 
of the hog contains 37.2 grammes ; ox, 15.2 grammes ; horse, 13.3 
grammes ; sheep, 13.5 grammes of ash.

LAWS OF CHEMICAL INCOMPATIBILITY. 

I. Two salts in solution may form by the interchange of their 
acids and bases two insoluble salts which are precipitated, or a sol- 
uble and insoluble salt ; the latter will generally be precipitated, or 
may form with the soluble salt a double salt. 

II. When two salts in solution do not give rise to an insoluble 
salt, no precipitate will result, though there may be decomposition. 

III. An acid will decompose a salt — 

(rt) If the acid added be more fixed or more soluble than 

that of the salt. 
(/>) If the acid added can form an insoluble or less soluble 

compound with the base of the salt. 
(l) If the acid added possesses a greater affinity for the 

base of the salt. 
(r/) If the acid of the salt be gaseous.
